| Calibrate | To divide or mark a measuring tool with gradations, such as the degree marks on a thermometer.
🗑
|
||||
| Cone | A 3-dimensional shape that has a circular base, a curved surface, and one vertex, which is called the apex.
🗑

| Geometric Solid | A 3 dimensional shape, such as a prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, or sphere. Despite its name, a geometric solid is hollow; it does not contain the points in its interior.
🗑
